Troubleshooting - Pride Mobility Victory XL-8 Owner's Manual

I X .
Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that
may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because
the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.
PROBLEM
All of my Scooter systems appear to be dead.
My Scooter does not move even though the
motor runs.
My Victory XL-8’s main circuit breaker
repeatedly trips.
My Victory XL-8’s battery condition meter
dips way down and the motor surges or hesi-
tates when I press the throttle control lever.
If you experience any problems with your Victory XL-8 that you are not able to resolve, immediately contact your
authorized Pride provider for information, maintenance, and service.
